                                    Handling large-sized classes and maintaining students' involvement are two of the major challenges in Personal Software Process (PSP) education in universities. We incorporated some typical practices of Pair Programming (PP) into the PSP class at summer school.

                                    How to teach students to conduct efficient code review remains challenging. Through analyzing the data collected from a PSP course took by freshmen, we found that checklist contributes more to helping beginners conduct code review than to improving review efficiency.
